Equivalent to Perl's Data::Dumper

[Heiko Wundram]

Hi all!

I have looked through all of the Python documentation for now, but I can't 
seen to find a module to do just this. What I'm trying to do is inspect a 
variable at runtime. I know pickle can do the job, but I can't/don't want to 
read the output it produces. dir or inspect.getmembers won't do the job, they 
don't run recursive (they just display the current members, nothing below 
that). Isn't there some readymade module to recursively look at a class or 
instance?

Otherwise I'll have to write one... ;)

Any help greatly appreciated!
